John Cassavetes drives Mulholland, 1965

In a clip taken from the 1968 documentary "Cineaste de notre temps," the actor and filmmaker cruises through the Hollywood Hills in a convertible — with the Beach Boys singing "California Girls" on the radio — and complains there aren't enough people in L.A. Hat tip to the blog Dangerous Minds, which posts a second clip of Cassavetes promoting "Opening Night," a 1977 release, and really talking trash about "sissy" Los Angeles. Gena Rowlands and Ben Gazzara look on.
